THE OPPORTUNITY
HardyGroup (HG) is growing its New Zealand executive search practice and is seeking an accomplished senior leader with strong commercial instincts, established professional networks and a passion for connecting organisations with exceptional leadership.
With a longstanding reputation for finding and growing great leaders, HG works across health, human services, government and the for-purpose sector. Our consultants bring deep executive and sector experience, enabling them to understand the challenges facing organisations and provide trusted advice on critical leadership appointments.
This opportunity will appeal to an experienced executive or sector leader looking to apply their knowledge, relationships and commercial capability in a different way. Previous executive search experience is welcomed but is not essential.
THE ROLE
Working closely with the National Manager, New Zealand, and the wider HG team, you will take ownership of developing your business pipeline and executive search portfolio across Aotearoa.
Drawing on your leadership experience and professional networks, you will identify and secure new opportunities, build trusted client relationships and provide strategic advice on senior leadership appointments. You will lead executive search assignments from initial client engagement through to successful appointment, supported by HG’s established methodologies, research capability and experienced colleagues.
Operating as an independent contractor on a fee-share basis, you will have the autonomy to build your own portfolio, with opportunities to lead additional assignments generated by HG.
THE CANDIDATE
You will bring substantial senior executive or leadership experience, ideally gained within health, human services, government, the for-purpose sector or other complex environments. You understand the challenges of leading organisations, navigating complexity and working with Boards and senior stakeholders. Commercially astute and relationship-driven, you will have a demonstrated ability to generate opportunities, win work and build enduring professional relationships.
You will be confident engaging with senior decision-makers, motivated to develop your own business and comfortable operating with a high degree of independence. Above all, you will bring credibility, sound judgement, curiosity and a genuine interest in helping organisations find exceptional leaders. Executive search or leadership advisory experience would be an advantage, but your leadership background, networks and commercial drive will be equally valued.
